DeVos opposition snowballs into avalanche (I agree that DeVos is horrendous and should be rejected, but it’s interesting that the opposition to her seems more intense than to so many other horrendous, extreme Trump cabinet picks. Why?)

A Poison Pill for the Recovery (“President Trump doesn’t understand or doesn’t care that rolling back financial rules will undercut his pledge to create jobs.”)

Tim Kaine on the Worst and Best Things Trump Has Done So Far (“The newly emboldened senator from Virginia says he ‘ain’t gonna be a bystander’ to the president’s agenda.” The best thing Trump could do would be to step down immediately and hopefully seek psychiatric help for his many, many severe mental and emotional problems.)

Brat; Republicans Under Orchestrated Attack by the Left (The great thing is that these supposed “attacks” are NOT orchestrated, at least from above, but are almost totally grassroots’ anger, fear, etc. at Trump and other far-right Republicans who are hell-bent on destroying our country. Let’s ratchet them UP, not down!)

I’m liking this: “The feckless hand wringers who are now pleading for us all to get along are fretting that if you try to filibuster the Gorsuch nomination, the Republican leadership in the Senate will “go nuclear” and get rid of the long-standing 60-vote requirement for a Supreme Court appointment that’s meant to be a moderating force.

They probably will. But if their exercises in power politics have taught you anything, it’s that you’re not going to stop them from getting rid of the filibuster whenever it suits them. So you might as well start fighting like hell today, when Trump’s popularity is low and his leadership skills are in serious doubt.

Obstruct Gorsuch, not on the merits but on principle. You may not be able to even the score, but you will be able to show the public that the days of Democratic obsequiousness are over.

Don’t ask him any questions at his hearing. This will dramatize the point you’re trying to make and recall the GOP’s failure to give Garland a hearing in which he would have been asked questions. And do provide to the White House a list of moderate Republican judges whom you consider acceptable replacements for Gorsuch.

They’ll ignore it. But even if, as expected, you lose this round, at least you’ll have your self-respect back.”
